Guard James Harden has officially requested a trade from the Philadelphia 76ers, and the team has not granted his request thus far. It is clear that they are planning to retain him and try to get the best deal possible.
A recent report from Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports revealed that James Harden will still show up to the Philadelphia 76ers training camp, despite desiring a trade. Fischer noted that one can cause “more headaches” for the team by “showing up”.
“Harden is expected at this point to report to training camp, according to league sources. You can cause far more headaches for the organization you’re trying to leave by showing up, as opposed to staying home.”
It remains to be seen what sort of actions James Harden will take to potentially force the Philadelphia 76ers to trade him. There are a variety of things that a superstar can potentially do to force a trade, and it seems as though Harden is willing to make things ugly within the organization to get his wish about a trade, specifically to the Los Angeles Clippers.
This past season with the Philadelphia 76ers, James Harden averaged 21.0 PPG, 6.1 RPG, and 10.7 APG. He can definitely be a difference-maker for the Los Angeles Clippers, and we’ll see if he ends up there in the future.
Daryl Morey Revealed What He Wants In A James Harden Trade
The Philadelphia 76ers are unlikely to let James Harden go for a subpar return. In fact, GM Daryl Morey claimed the team wants a “very good player” in return, and noted that the team would love him to play out the season.
“If we don’t get either a very good player or something we can turn into a very good player, then we’re just not going to do it,” Morey said. “If James were to turn his mind around, we would all be thrilled. You’ve heard Joel’s comments about that. But at this moment he prefers to be traded, and we are attempting to honor that.”
It remains to be seen if the Philadelphia 76ers do end up trading James Harden. The team needs to ensure that the return from a potential deal helps them stay afloat and be competitive, which is why the trade could take a while.
